Overview
FDG-PET scan can be ued to plan ahead of treatment of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. It also detects metastatic lesions.
Other Imaging Findings
- FDG-PET scanning can be used to plan treatment of salivary gland malignancies by detecting lymph node metastases. This is particularly useful when used in addition to CT scanning.
- Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) pertechnetate scintigraphy can also be used to diagnose warthin tumors with correlation between tumor size and Tc-99m uptake.[1]
